  abstract= "A new language for programming systems with Communicating
     Process Architecture is introduced which builds upon the
     success of occam. Some of the principal objectives are
     presented and justified. The means employed to express
     behaviour are then described, including a transfer
     primitive, which conveys object ownership as well as value,
     and an alternation construct. The latter replaces PRI PAR
     and PRI ALT, and affords explicit expression of
     conflict-free prioritized reactive (event-driven) behaviour,
     including exception response. HPL also offers source-code
     modularity, object encapsulation, and the recursive
     definition of both object and process. Despite such
     ambition, a primary aim has been to retain simplicity in
     abstraction, expression, and implementation."
